'''Jeremy Bentham''' (1748-1832) was an [[English]] [[atheistic]] [[philosopher]] who popularized the concept of [[utilitarianism]]<ref>http://www.ucl.ac.uk/Bentham-Project/info/jb.htm</ref>.  Utilitarianism is a moral philosophy which states that individual actors (or indeed government) should do whatever maximizes overall "utility" (pleasure minus pain).  If killing one innocent man saves ten other lives, then utilitarianism would favor it.  Under utilitarianism there is no Christian morality, and it is replaced by comparing benefits versus costs.
